Default A wheelie work in progress

OK so I walk in the house after work today and explain to my wife that she has to video tape me riding a wheelie. She says why? I say because the guys on the Kawasaki site don't believe that I can ride one. And she says and I quote: "what are you 12? We both had a good laugh. Here you go, I am still learning the process. I just need to be able to shift to second gear that way I can carry it farther.

Your reply to "what are you, 12?", should have been...."Yes, dear, at heart andin mind!"
BTW, I didn't see the gray hair and the middle aged gut. Amazing what a helmet and jacket will do.

That wheelie looks pretty good to me.

I'm not going to try it, if my front wheel comes up it will be by accident.

Good one! You make that look like a mini bike when standing on the pegs though! Did you ever get any bar risers?


Lucky fella to have a camera woman, I had to go "Survivorman" style....

Funny, when I'm uptown and stop at the one stoplight that we have or the post office and look at myself in the window, I think to myself, who is that? Yea tapered jacket works wonders on a fat old dude like me.

She's anti computer, and barely knows where the power button is, so chances are pretty slim there.
